Coffee – Wine – Tea Da Lat’s Agricultural Treasures Tour
Book on GetYourGuide →Operated by Original Vietnam Easy Rider · Bookable on GetYourGuide
Coffee, tea, and wine in one day. In Da Lat, this route connects Cầu Đất Arabica coffee to the hills that shape it, then keeps going with tea cultivation at Phát Chi and wine tasting from local producers. I like how the day mixes hands-on farm learning with real places you can still smell and taste, not just photos and quick stops.
The ride portion matters too: it’s a private day built around your pace, and guides like Loi and Ray are repeatedly praised for clear English and careful driving. One thing to watch: Da Lat wineries close every Monday, so if your trip falls on a Monday, you’ll want to confirm whether the wine stop changes (and also budget for extra tickets for tastings).

Why Da Lat’s coffee, tea, and wine fit together
Da Lat sits at the right altitude and climate for crops that like cooler air and steady growing conditions. That’s the big idea behind this tour: you’re not just sampling drinks, you’re seeing how the land and the seasons show up in what ends up in your cup and glass.
I also like the flow of the day. The first half is agricultural—coffee and tea—where you get context for how plants are managed, harvested, and turned into something people actually drink every day. The second half shifts toward culture and iconic architecture around town, including Linh Phước Pagoda and Domain de Mari (Mai Anh Church). For me, that mix keeps the day from feeling like a checklist.
One more practical point: food and drinks aren’t included in the tour price. That doesn’t mean you’ll go without, but it does mean you should plan on buying water and snacks if you need them, and budgeting extra for tasting tickets (more on that below).

Cầu Đất Arabica Coffee Farm: what the visit is really about
You start at the Cầu Đất Arabica Coffee Farm, and the emphasis is on how coffee becomes coffee. Expect a guided walkthrough focused on the history of Arabica in the region, cultivation practices, and the harvesting process. Even if you’re not a coffee nerd, it helps to see what’s happening on the plant level before tasting anything.
This stop also pays off for photos. The farm is framed by hills and mountains, so you get that Da Lat feeling where the air looks cooler and the views change every time you turn your head. The aroma of brewed coffee hangs around too, so it’s not just a lecture.
What you should consider: coffee tasting isn’t described as a specific included part of the coffee farm portion in the provided details. So if your priority is tasting multiple coffee styles, you may want to ask the guide what’s included on your date. (Some days can feel more educational than consumptive.)
Phát Chi Tea Farm: Vietnamese tea culture in real time
Next comes the Phát Chi Tea Farm, where the day shifts from coffee to tea hills. Here, the guide explains tea cultivation and the care practices that keep the plants producing. You’re also learning the cultural side—how tea fits into Vietnamese daily life and traditions.
This is a good stop for anyone who likes calm, outdoors time but still wants structure. The views from the tea areas are a big part of why it’s relaxing, and the farm setting naturally slows the day down. You’ll have time to look around, ask questions, and connect what you see (the plants, the growing methods) with why tea culture matters here.
A practical note: there’s also mention of a Tea Museum with an extra ticket (150,000 VND) that includes a tea performance and two kinds of tea. If you want more than just garden walking, that ticket can turn the tea portion into a more complete experience.
Ladora winery wine tasting: worth the ticket, and watch the Monday closure
Da Lat has a reputation for wines, and this tour gives you a guided look at winemaking and then tasting time at the Da Lat Winery (Ladora is the one listed for ticketed tastings). The details you’ve been given say the tasting is connected to a specific entry ticket: 100,000 VND for a set that includes 3 wines.
That matters for value. The tour itself is priced at $40 and includes transport, an English-speaking guide, and gasoline. The winery ticket is an extra, but it’s also where you get the actual payoff—structured tastings rather than random sampling.
One major consideration is the schedule: the winery closes every Monday. If you’re booking for a Monday, confirm how the operator handles the wine stop. You don’t want to pay for a day built around tasting and then find the winery visit changed at the last minute.
Lam Vien Square and Domain de Mari (Mai Anh Church): the classic photo-and-walk portion
After the farms, you’ll transition into Da Lat town sights. First up is Lam Viên Square, known for scenic views, flower gardens, and walking paths. It’s a breather stop. You go from agriculture hills to an easier stroll, and the cooler mountain air plus pine scent is exactly the kind of sensory reset Da Lat does well.
Then you’ll visit Domain de Mari (also referenced as Mai Anh Church). This church is described as an architectural highlight that blends with the scenery. Even if religion isn’t your focus, you’ll still enjoy the design and the way the structure fits the setting. It’s a straightforward stop: get your bearings, enjoy the exterior, and take your photos without racing.
If you’re the type who likes quiet, these two stops can be a nice rhythm. If you prefer nonstop action, just know they’re more “walk and look” than “hands-on.”
A few more Dalat tours and experiences worth a look
Linh Phước Pagoda and Da Lat Railway Station: faith and heritage
Da Lat’s temples and old-world architecture give this day extra texture. Linh Phước Pagoda is famous for intricate design, and it’s a real wow stop based on the description. You’re going to see a Buddhist temple built with major attention to detail, and it’s positioned as a highlight of the region’s spiritual heritage. Plan to take your time here—this isn’t a quick glance type of place.
Then you’ll head to Da Lat Railway Station. This stop is described as a living piece of heritage, with history and architecture alongside the natural beauty of the area. It’s a good end-of-day anchor because it feels less like an attraction and more like part of how Da Lat still functions.
If you like variety—farms in the morning, culture in the afternoon—this pairing makes sense. It keeps the day from feeling one-note even though the theme is agriculture and drinks.
Private motorbike touring: comfort, pacing, and what to ask yourself
This is a private motorbike tour, with hotel pickup and drop-off in Dalat. Pickup is listed for 8:30am, and the driver will hold a sign with your last name. That’s helpful if you want a smooth start without confusion.
Why the private format matters: you don’t have to manage a big group schedule. It’s designed to be paced around your questions and interests, and many people are specifically happy with how un-rushed the day feels between viewpoints. Guides such as Loi and Ray have been praised for safety and English, and that’s a big deal on a motorbike day.
Now, the consideration you shouldn’t ignore: the tour is listed as not suitable for pregnant women and not suitable for children under 5. It’s also described as wheelchair accessible, but since it’s a motorbike tour, you should verify how they handle your mobility needs with the operator before you book.
For anyone with mild motion concerns, choose a day when you can sit comfortably for a few hours. If you’re worried, it’s worth asking how they handle breaks and where you can rest between stops.
Price and value: what $40 covers (and what doesn’t)
At $40 per person, you’re paying for the core infrastructure of the day: hotel pickup/drop-off, an English-speaking guide, and gasoline. Food and drinks aren’t included, and that’s normal for a day tour that also includes paid tasting entries.
The two ticket items explicitly listed are:
- Ladora Winery ticket: 100,000 VND, includes 3 wines
- Tea Museum ticket: 150,000 VND, includes a tea performance and 2 kinds of tea
So the real value question is simple: do you want the tasting/tea museum experiences enough to add those costs? If yes, the structure becomes strong—you’re paying for guided education and then paying only when you reach the tasting components that actually require it.
Who this tour is best for:
- You want a mix of coffee + tea + wine with real farm context
- You like a day that includes scenic Da Lat viewpoints plus famous sights
- You prefer a private day with an English guide instead of a crowded bus tour
- You’re comfortable with a motorbike format and want to see countryside outside the center
Who might reconsider:
- You mainly want a coffee-focused tasting experience with lots of sampling, since coffee tasting details aren’t described as a guaranteed feature of the farm stop
- You’re traveling on a Monday and wine is a must (the winery closes every Monday)
Should you book this Da Lat agricultural treasures tour?
I’d book it if you want one day that connects what you drink to where it’s grown—starting with Arabica at Cầu Đất, continuing with tea at Phát Chi, and then adding wine at Ladora when it’s open. The private setup, English guide, and the mix of agricultural and cultural stops make it a strong way to spend your time in Da Lat without feeling rushed.
If it’s a Monday, confirm how they handle the wine closure. And if you care most about tasting (not just learning), ask the guide what’s included at each stop so your day matches your expectations.
